Review: "According to the American Psychological Association, young people are the target for more than $12 billion worth of advertising each year. Childhood obesity rates are skyrocketing, and children watch close to 1,000 hours of television every year, nearly 70 percent of which has some sort of sexual content. Almost 80 percent of the video games children play promote violence as a form of casual entertainment." "In Kidnapped, parents and educators discover how to recognize and combat unethical practices, while retailers and marketers learn how to provide healthier and more positive products and programs for our nation's youth."--BOOK JACKET.
